IMPROVEMENT IN SHOW-SEATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l3d,&@6. dated December31, 1872.

Be it known that I, DAYID 0. PRICE, of St.

' Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of held at one end by braces G(3, while the other ends of these supports, as well as the ends ofbraces, are prevented, from slipping by the loops and pins a at. Thesesupports A A are also provided on the upper side with recesses b. D Eare bands which serve to hold the seat-boards F and foot-boards G firmlyin position. H is a detachable folding seat, consisting of theseat-frame h and back h. On the under side of frame h is placed a pairof stationary projecting lips, k W, and a movable lip, if, having theright-angled slot k, which allows it to slide and turn on a pin, h. Bydrawing the seat-frame forward over the board the latter will comebetween lips h h and seat-frame, when the lip h is to be turned anddrawn forward. This has the effect of locking the seat-frame securely tothe board. The seat back is composed. of rest k and narrow plates h [L8pivoted to each other at the middle of the former. The short plate 72.is pivoted to the rear of seat frame, while the long plate h" has aright-angled slot at'the end by which it may be locked to and readilyunlocked from a pin, it, on front of side of the seat-frame.

By this construction these seats may be not only detached with greatfacility from the boards, but also folded up closely and convenientlypacked away in a small compass.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The series of foot-boards G, in combination with supports and braces,as and for the purpose described.

2. A detachable folding seat, H, constructed and applicable, as and forthe purpose described.
